[opensource21]

PhantomJS allows headless test against the QtWebKit. You can find information how to integrate at

• Blog
• Ghotsdriver

and there is an interesting maven package from arquillian and one for the binaries.

We chose HtmlUnitDriver since this was part of Selenium and maintained by the Selenium community. We initially looked at PhantomJS (GhostDriver). What was the time difference between HTMLUnitDriver and PhantomJS with our integration tests?

Well it's slower 2x, but it contains a real webbrowser. I don't think it should be a replacement for HTMLUnit. I think it should be another option like chrome, ff...

Users can use PhantomJS by providing their own SessionFactory implementation right now so it is still possible. Adding easy support so that users can simply provide browser=phantomjs in client properties would be something to discuss.

Own SessionFactories are difficult to register. So I think it's would be good to have support for it. Specially it's the idea of an additional selenium library to make the usage easier ;-)
